"You Can't Get There From Here" is a short experimental documentary and a kinetic scrapbook of being sixteen. Cacophonous, contradictory, and constantly on the move, this coming of age story is rife with burgeoning queer desire, adolescent rebelliousness, and family crisis. Ultimately, the film is about the irreconcilability of striving for and running from, of growing up and shutting down, of pursuit and flight. You can’t get there from here.
